| Abstract: |
The general user support for many traditional data processing systems (e.g. IRAF, Starlink, and MIDAS) has been significantly reduced in recent years. Further, much of the current efforts in the area of data processing is related to special purpose packages for specific project. This emphasizes the need for planning in the area of common data processing software to ensure that new applications can be shared, general support provided and new technologies (such as VO, Grid) utilized.
The OPTICON Network 3.6 and NVO have started a discussion on the high-level requirements and architectural concepts for a common software environment for astronomical data analysis and processing. The BoF was convened to summarize the current status and discuss the developments in a broader community. |
